Book Hero thinking about your next read

This large-format overview of the work of John Heartfield draws on the superlative collections of the Academie der Kunst, Berlin, and the David King collection at Tate Modern. Born in Berlin in 1891, Heartfield, along with George Grosz, is widely considered to have invented photomontage, a technique of cutting up and manipulating photographs.

Jackson Pollock: Blind Spots explores the life and work of Jackson Pollock (1912–1956), one of the most influential and provocative American artists of the 20th century. This fully illustrated book accompanies the first exhibition in over three decades focusing on a crucial phase of his work referred to as the Black Pourings.

This controversial body of black enamel and oil paintings is exceptional for its absolute merging of colour and surface. The book includes these works alongside drawings that are regarded as Pollock's most important and productive.

A number of virtually unknown and rarely seen sculptures are also featured, illuminating Pollock's experimentations with space, density, and figuration.

Accompanying a major exhibition and including insightful essays by a team of scholars, Jackson Pollock: Blind Spots reveals a less-known aspect of Pollock's work.
